20 years of international mountain biking at Mont-Sainte-Anne leaves others in our tracks!
Mont-Sainte-Anne last held the World Championships in 1998. The event left a lasting impression on the site, including a purpose-built Downhill track which, thanks to annual improvements, remains one of the most challenging on the international circuit even today. The only site in the world to have held a UCI event every year since the rise of mountain biking in 1991, Mont-Sainte-Anne and the organizing committee are renowned throughout the world for their warm welcome and the quality of the events they put on, notably the 2006 World Cup which was ranked the second best international event by IMTTO (International Mountain Bike Teams, Technical Support Companies Organisation) out of fifty international events.
